Professional Tire Changer with Advanced Bead SeatingDesign and FunctionalityThe Atlas TC229 builds on the proven swing-arm design with an integrated bead blaster system for enhanced bead seating capabilities. This addition makes the TC229 ideal for shops handling modern tire constructions, including low-profile, run-flat, and reinforced sidewall designs. The bead blaster helps seat tire beads quickly and reliably, reducing operational time and improving customer satisfaction on challenging tire applications.Capacity and PerformanceWith a rim clamp range supporting 10-24 inches external and 12-24 inches internal diameters, the TC229 accommodates most passenger vehicle wheels. The maximum tire diameter capability of approximately 41 inches covers standard and low-profile configurations. The bead breaker generates approximately 2500 pounds of force for efficient bead separation, while the built-in bead blaster system provides a pneumatic assist for seating stubborn beads without damaging tire sidewalls or rims.Technical Specifications and Advanced FeaturesBead Blaster TechnologyThe integrated bead blaster system uses controlled compressed air pulses to seat tire beads against wheel rims, particularly effective for low-profile tires with stiffer sidewalls and run-flat designs. This system reduces manual repositioning time and increases throughput for shops handling diverse tire types. The bead blaster operates efficiently within the standard 8-10 bar air supply requirement, requiring no additional air line infrastructure.Power and InstallationThe TC229 operates on 110V single-phase 60Hz electrical power with a 1HP turntable motor providing smooth wheel rotation. Weighing approximately 600 pounds, the unit ships fully assembled and requires minimal setup. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper floor mounting, electrical connections, and air system integration. The equipment operates efficiently in standard shop environments with adequate ventilation and proper air line maintenance.
